Torrin

Tsundere Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

4 hour decant and this big boy was still closed down. What little it revealed hinted at the monster wine this will become. Still very primary extracted black fruit, pencil shavings, camphor, mammoth tannins with fresh acid. Desperately needs time to open up. — 11 years ago

Valdicava

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2004

Excellent recommended step up in intensity from the Judge -> Kosta Browne Gap's Crown Pinot Noir -> this monster palette wrecker from Marea's sommelier. Closed The joint down with this bad boy — 11 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1989

Still a young monster! Decanted for 3 hours, and still could have handled more. Nice fruit wrapped in spice and leather. Big tannins, but perfect with a steak. Great acidity. — 13 years ago

9.3

Brooding monster the 2010, a first for me from Lokoya. Needed 2 hours to really express itself in my glass. Bold and rich with big fleshy tannins. Must try more! Thanks Larry. Chophouse group Monday — 11 years ago

Behrens & Hitchcock

Ink Grade Cabernet Sauvignon 2000

Also magnum- the better of the two, more balanced - not quite showing the heat as much- smoother softer finish. Nice layers to this one..riper cab, but not too ripe. 9.1+? — 11 years ago
